    Summary

    [COMPLETE]

     

     

    A retelling.

    “How … likely is it we can chalk this up to a naughty dream?”

    Dropping her hands to her lap, she squints at him. “Well, now that you’ve said it—not very likely.”

    He’s still half on her bedroll where’s she’d left him, propped up on one arm, other hand massaging at his throat. It takes her a while to process the wariness in his eyes—a length of time where her silent observation of him only seems to heighten his unease.

    Just to be thorough, she briefly touches her fingers to either side of her throat. When she feels only smooth skin, she sighs again, shaking her head.

    “… What are you going to do?” Astarion asks in a low and quiet voice, evidently having followed her—soundlessly in the way she knows he can be when he wants to. “What are you … What are you going to tell them?”

    Summary

    Secrets, secrets, secrets — what a very tangled web they weave.

    In the dark heart of Gotham City, Dr. Maryam Ben Halimi, a medical examiner for the past two years, carries the burden of her own secrets, burdens from a past she has worked hard so very hard to bury… Her daily routine of grim autopsies is abruptly upended when a notorious serial killer begins terrorizing the city, leaving a trail of bodies that only adds to Gotham’s chaos. As the killings escalate, Maryam’s path crosses with the ever mysterious Batman, whose silent presence both disturbs and (unfortunately) intrigues her.

    Torn between her growing feelings for the vigilante and the increasingly dangerous nature of her work, Maryam finds herself navigating a treacherous landscape of lies and danger. The more she delves deeper into the investigation, the more the line between her professional duties and her personal demons blurs. The secrets she hides may be just as dark as the murders she’s trying to solve.

    And so, trust proves elusive and survival hinges on uncovering the truth, not only behind the grisly murders but also about the mysterious figure who haunts her nights and the darkness she’s kept locked away within herself.

    Summary

    On the morning of his thirtieth birthday, Sebastian wakes up with a killer migraine. What the hell had happened the night before? Why does he get a strange feeling in his stomach when he spots the reclusive farmer from Castlewood buying a new shipping bin from his mother? Why does NOBODY seem to really know anything about this woman, even though she's lived there for six years? And what's with the weird ring that he found in his bed?

    A twist on the "farmer moves in, falls in love with a villager, and then things happen" theme. In the game, the wizard states that he sealed the way to the witch's swamp because he was afraid for the villagers’ safety. Do we *really* know how the shrines work? What might a villager accomplish if they made their way to the witch's hut and the dark shrines within? Let's find out.

    Summary

    After a devastating layoff from Joja Corporation, Molly Sinclair decides to follow her grandpa's final advice and become the author of her own story. She retreats to Crystalbrook Farm, the idyllic place she spent many happy summers in her youth. But she gets more than she bargained for in tiny Pelican Town: a weed-ridden farm in disrepair, nosy neighbors, strange creatures, unexplainable phenomena... and a handsome, reclusive writer who threatens to capture her heart.

    Elliott Bouchard has always had his head in the clouds—a necessary skill for an aspiring author, in his opinion. He doesn't quite believe in wishes, but he doesn't disbelieve in them, either. So he makes a spur-of-the-moment wish on the Winter Star and finds himself caught completely off guard by the answer. Nothing he's ever experienced, real or imaginary, could have prepared him to be swept off his feet by the devastatingly beautiful new farmer in town.

    Note: Chapters with sexually explicit material will be marked in the chapter summaries.

    Summary

    Being in the band is always better than just watching the show.

    All Kate wanted was to earn a little extra cash by writing the history of Stark Industries. What she got instead was an encounter with the Tesseract, an overturned life, a group of remarkable misfits, and a new purpose.

    Having feelings for her best friend is great, unless revealing them will cost her everything. Is her new life worth being close to Steve, but never close enough?
